OUCH!  UPX dies.

Now I can't distribute my own Allegro programs over Freeservers.com
because it has a file size limit of 512 KB, that is, unless a way is
found to build an already compressed CWSDPMI stub with copyright
notices intact. Support for CWSDPMI embedded stubs will probably need
to be added to UPX anyway; it'd be nice if you worked with MFXJO on
this.
